Different formatting options for Mac Addresses.

[AdamMason1877]

Currently in order to search our network cores, Cisco based, for the mac addresses under mac tracker, we have to change the mac address format to xxxx.xxxx.xxxx manually because it is not output as such in Mac Track exports.

Currently to work around this I use Excel formula,

=SUBSTITUTE(MID(F2,1,2)&MID(F2,4,2),"-", ".") & "." & SUBSTITUTE(MID(F2,7,2)&MID(F2,10,2),"-", ".") & "." & SUBSTITUTE(MID(F2,13,2)&MID(F2,16,2),"-", ".")

F2 in this case being the cell name of the original mac value. Is there a location in settings that specifies mac formatting? If not, where is the code, I would like to push this option to the repository.

Mactrack has only "Mac Address Delimiter" in settings. If you want to extend setting for mac address format and display mac address in configured format, your pull request is welcome. I suggest to preserve current format in database, use custom format only for view, email and reports.

Why not just add another option here?

I will do it. Closing here, opening feature request in mactrack

I suggest create mysqldump of mactrack tables for sure. I'm changing format in db.
